Hi,
I am trying to delete emails from my IMAP account an my SGSII (Samsung stock emailing programm).
Now my problem is that all emails I delete once just reappear the next time I sync with my IMAP account. So its simply impossible to delete emails on my phone.
This problem also exists on the GalaxyTab as far as I know.
Hotmail works fine(but hotmail doesnt use IMAP as far as I know).
One simple solution would be to just not use the samsung emailing program. I tried K9 today, but I kinda dont like the fact that it doesnt come with an widget. I also like the stock program better.
Any clue what I am doing wrong?
its also not possible to open most attachments directly from inside the emailing application(.pdf,.jpg etc.).
It does work occationally but must of the time it doesnt.
Solved:
Not using Polaris Office did the trick for me.

How did you resolve the IMAP email problem? I'm experiencing the same behaviour. Gmail IMAP works fine (with the stock email client, not the stock Gmail client). However, my work email which is IMAP doesn't work correctly.
I simply stopped using the stock program.
And now I kinda started to love K9.
But K9 didn't get along with my hotmail account(it has no IMAP;always redownloaded old emails;I had a data usage of 200mb in one day^^) so I started to auto. redirect all my mails to gmail. That works flawless til now.
oh man, same here!
I use the same settings on Nexus One, V880 or even Ipod Touch, both works except SG2! any clue yet?
No I didnt find no solution.
I am happy with K9 now .
Greets.
Apparently using POP instead of IMAP, you have the option to delete from the server... Of course IMAP is supposed to do this anyway, but worth considering POP - especially if the other advantages of IMAP are of no interest to you.
Personally, folder synchronisation means nothing if it can't even sync deleted emails...
I tried to chase this up with Samsung support, but of course they're useless... It's obviously a software bug, but they suggested a reflash and then trip to the service centre if that doesn't fix it...
We all know a trip to the service centre will certainly not fix it if a reflash wont...
Curiously, I've got a VHA ROM on my phone, and wondering what everyone else has, presuming it might be an issue in the branded ROM, but not in the generic ROM...
I'm sure I'm not the only one who cares, but I did a little bit of research, and although it doesn't seem to help, there's setting the IMAP path prefix (usually 'INBOX'), which should direct deleted emails into INBOX.Trash as opposed to the android Trash folder, and therefore delete them off the server.
Sadly, trying 20 variations, I still couldn't get it to work... but it might work with your email provider (just didn't with mine)
If all else fails, and you really want to use the Samsung email app (which I do, since K9 does not have activesync Exchange support - only the other one, which doesn't help me), instead of deleting emails, just go: Menu/Move to Folder/INBOX.Trash - this is the same as what Delete should be doing...
Hope that helps somewhat...
same issue: any solution found yet?
I enter my username and password under the yahoo email option in the mail app and it keeps saying I have no new messages but I know I do... Anyone else have this problem or have a manual fix?

Yahoo mail still exists???? Get Gmail if problem persists.
I had the same issue. Even when I switched to display 20 messages from any date, it would say no mail but also say x available on server. If I tapped that it would compose a new message. I haven't used the native mail app in a while so after that I said screw it and went back to K9.
yes
same problem and looking for fix, I'm going to try sending the yahoo text/yahoo mobile from my computer to my phone and see if that works
Had same problem. I skipped it, went to it later and it went through.

I am having same problem. My work uses yahoo mail to post overtime. I am losing cash so I hope they solve this quick. Yahoo is what company adopted for email so switching isn't an option.

You could always use the browser until you get it fixed. Probably something to do with the server ports. I'll dig around on the Hero boards and see if I can find the settings.

I am having the same problem. I downloaded the yahoo mail app from the marketplace as a workaround.

Seriously, K9 mail. It's free in the market. It is the best mail app I've seen. And when we finally get some sort of root, you can use titanium backup to backup your data and if you switch roms or whatever use that to restore your accounts and settings instantly.
It appears to be a known issue. I cannot get my Yahoo mail to open using the stock Email app either, I can send but I cannot receive. You can use the Yahoo Mail app, that works just fine and has a nice user interface, but me, personally I prefer using the regular Mail app for all three of my email addresses. My Yahoo address is only mainly for crap. If people think using Yahoo is archaic, I use ***gasp*** *OH NO’S*** my ISP email address which is where all my important stuff goes, banking stuff and so on, and the address I give out to close friends and family. Only reason I have a Gmail account is because you’re forced to in order to use an Android phone. Hopefully a fix for this problem is in the works.
I'm surprised anyone uses anything other than gmail with an android device for personal email.
Same problem here. Started happening just yesterday for me.
A Sprint rep told me that Yahoo blocked port 25 on their servers which is causing issues across all phone platforms. He also said that Yahoo wants to start charging people for Yahoo Plus in order for it to work, but I have found no confirmation of that. As a matter of fact, I found at least one Yahoo Plus user who is also having this problem using the native mail app from another HTC phone.
I have contacted Yahoo about the issue and will post their response here when I get it. However, it does seem to be a very widespread problem.
I will be waiting for an answer because I would rather use sense for emails then the app.
glad I wasn't the only one.
same problem here. I noticed I was not getting yahoo mails today. I use mine for business, and frankly don't ever want to use another email. Yahoo has been consistent, reliable for me for over 14 years.
I downloaded and installed the Enhanced Email app on the Amazon Appstore today.. special for today only for 4.99... seems like a good program..
I did not know about K9,, I could have saved the 4.99... but I think the Enhanced email app has a lot of features I haven't started using yet.
same issue with yahoo..
set up quickly.. but no emails coming in...
and yea been using Yahoo for years.. not going to switch because gmail is android friendly lol
i want a fix too, i use gmail, hotmail, and yahoo and want them all on my phone with stock software. depends on who i am giving my email to or sending to as to which account i use

I have the new HTC Evo 3D and Yahoo mail does not work with the
native HTC Mail app. Before this phone, I had the original HTC Evo and
Yahoo worked fine with the HTC app over the course of one year that I
had that phone. I upgraded to this phone last week, and for 5 days
Yahoo was working fine on the HTC mail app, but it stopped working
yesterday. Gmail and my work email still work through the HTC mail app
and my Yahoo mail is still working on my computer, so I believe the
problem is on Yahoo's end.
Please advise if this issue had already been reported and if it is being
worked on.

I use Gmail for personal use (friends/relatives) and Yahoo for commercial use ie. Amazon, Netflix, forum addresses, etc.. Keeps my Gmail absolutely spam free and when I get a Gmail I know it is really an email I want to see and have pushed to my 3VO.
I had the Yahoo set up problem too, just got my 3VO yesterday. Finally got it to work with the standard mail app. Turned out to be a security issue on my account, and after I changed my password to a more secure one, and after I signed on to the account from my 3VO browser, I was able to set it up using the manual mode (IMAP).
Remember to remove the "htc." from the incoming and outgoing server addresses though.
I have a question about the 2.3.4 hktw build is there a fix to sync Facebook contacts? I know blur isn't being used but is there another method to add fb contacts to address book
Try the blur fix.
I wish there was a way to fix exchange syncing. I can't get my email or contacts.

I've been using the version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775007. It can be installed alongside BlurEmail from Motorola. It uses a separate "Exchange" type account outside of MotoBlur under accounts.
Note: This version has been hacked to remove the Exchange security features. Using this against secured, corporate Exchange is grounds for firing in some companies. (If anyone has stock Gingerbread email without this hack, I would love to have a copy.)
I use it against Zimbra, because BlurEmail frequently truncates Zimbra emails with no option to "Get More". Using this on 2.2.x allowed me to read all my email, but I couldn't click on links or copy text from the email. It seems to work perfectly on 2.3.4 though.
Just found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15164552 that was pulled from 2.3.4 samsung. It might work for you too without the concern about the security hack. I haven't tried it though.
EDIT: I installed this version. It seems to work fine. In the menu there is an icon that looks like a Volume icon that seems to actually be refresh.
That was an easy fix by just creating a new motor blur acount and adding the social networks to the accounts tab.

So my problem is simple.
When I upgraded to latest official ICS ROM (I had to use Odin) I have this connection error in the stock e-mail client.
I'm using an Exchange 2010 server, I've removed account, and added it again, it did sync and retrieve new e-mail for about an hour, but suddenly it stopped working. It keeps coming back with the connection error...
Can any-one please help me?

Ok,
It's already done syncing... yesterday (when the trouble started) it synced very slowly.. Let's see if it stays like this now...
hi,
have the same problem.
tried what you suggested, it ectually cleared the account and i had to re-enter and reset it up.
did not work, it synced some emails and then stopped with connection error
i use exchange 2003, samsung galaxy s2 ics 4.0.3
any suggestions ?
thank you
addition:
--------
bow, after a few hours it did sync, VERY slow and when reading the mail the sync back to mark as read either not done or will also take hours...
where is the problem ?
i can avoid thinking of going back to 2.3.6 as this version really sucks.. it has so many problems.
same here
Hello,
Same problem here, on Android 2.3.3 no exchange sync problem, after update ti 4.0.3 connection error ...
Samsung Galaxy S II (Black) - Android 4.0.3
So I haven't had any problems since my last post until now :S
About an hour ago it synced an SMS messages over 3G, when I came home, I received an e-mail on my Outlook client and tablet at the same time, so I kept looking to my Galaxy.... nothing!
It's not my exchange server (2010 SP2), everything, including my tablet on android 4.03 using the ASUS client work perfectly fine...
Using POP3 or IMAP is not an option, even not as a temp workaround... I really need the activesync :S
it's a "known" defect affecting some Exchange accounts (f.e. google mail's ActiveSync): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545986
there are some people that claim they could get it to work by changing some settings, but that only helps for some exchange servers. the ASOP 4.0.4 exchange service & mail client seems to work tho.

The last post on page 10 of that topic seems like a working solution... To bad i don't have the time to root my phone and try it atm...
So replacing the e-mail and exchange apk's made it even worse for me... now I can't even start the mail app anymore
Issues with Exchange and other syncing with ICS
After reading lots of post and trying to resolve issues I believe I have resolved my issues using pop & Exchange accounts.
Try the following:
1. Edit every email account to the lowest retrevial size for emails.
and leave whatever email accounts you have setup as is.
2. Turn your phone off, do not restart.
3. Hold down the home button and press the power on button, keeping the button held down until you are at the full menu screen or pin code for your sim.
4. The if phone doesnt refresh, go to email settings and refresh each individual email account. Mine did automatically.
Hope this helps all the poor suckers out there that have spent hours on their phone trying to resolve issues rather than being the guinea pigs Samsung has made of us!
Good luck & god bless.
Liz
This doesn't work either...
Samsung has to fix this very soon... Some people try to use this thing for business, and the exchange feature is one of the most important features imo... I have to have a fix soon becaus this is soo ... annoying
I guess I have a good temporary fix, by setting the retrieval size to headers only it seems to work fine....
I am having same problem on galaxy s2. Recently upgraded to 4.0.3.
It syncs sometimes with exchange 2010 but most of the times it gives error as
'Connection error '. I have tried everything that you guys suggested. Nothing seems to work.
please help!!
Hope it help to solve
Changing the maximum email size to '100KB' from 'All' also solved my problem.
It Solves the problem for some time. When I reduced to size to Minimum, it worked for 3-4 days just fine. Altough 'Connection Error' Again started coming.
It stayed like that for couple of more days and exchange started working again.
Just to make it clear, our exchange is working fine since all others are getting updates.
Really strange!!!
Email client started working
Hi guys.
I updated to 4.0.4 on my skyrocket yesterday and faced this issue till today morning. Just while being in the email app.. go to the settings of FONT. It has not been selected and hence we do not see our mails.
Select any size.. and voila the mail appears.
I have had several issues ever since going with the official update. I am S-Off, am using the jp-bear hboot 2.25.2525 and AmonRa 3.15. I also rooted my phone. The first time I did the update, I RUU'd back to Gingerbread and started with a stock setup. I took the OTA and did the update. It seemed to go well but I was having issues with 4G not showing up and only getting 3G. I did not have this problem on 3.11, 3.13, or the first 3.14 leak. I ended up using the PH98IMG RUU for 3.14.605.12 and got the same problem with 4G. I did a full RUU again and no luck. I ended up going in to the stock Hboot and did a factory reset. That did the trick and I have had 4G ever since. However the signal doesn't seem as strong as it did with previous leaks. At home, I would usually get 4-5 bars consistently. Now I ususally get 2-3 bars and sometimes 4. I did have an issue with my previous extended battery cover but got another that wasn't damaged. And the cover is on tight. But after confirming that I had 4G, I flashed AmonRa, added the jp-bear hboot, and finally rooted it. The final problem I am having is with my email. For most of my accounts, I have been having problems with the stock email app updating. I have tried deleting accounts and then re-adding them and sometimes when re-added, wont download any emails at all. And I have one email that uses exchange. That one seems to be pretty reliable and usually works as it should. I had the same issues with 3.14.605.5 but never tried 3.14.605.10. I don't remember these email issues when I used 3.13.605.7 or the 3.11 versions.
I am seriously considering going back to the 3.13 version or even trying the 3.14.605.10. I have full downloads of all the ICS versions so it would be very easy to do. Has anyone else had these issues? Would it make sense going back to one of the earlier versions?

Well 5,7,10 and the ota 12 all have the same radios so that won't help. My guess is a failing or under performing lte card. I would try and get a replacement
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
I do have 4G now but it took a lot of messing with the latest update to work. It worked fine with GB and when I just RUU'd back to GB to do the update, it had strong signals and grabbed 4G right away. I just hate to go back to GB and thought one of the leaks came with 1.22.10.310r,1.22.310.308r instead of the official 1.22.10.421r,1.22.10.424r.
When you say the lte card is possibly failing, are you talking about replacing the SIM card or is it some hardware in the phone that would need a replacement phone?
Well I think Ive gotten the signal issue worked out but not quite sure how. I was reading the thread about 2nd CPU and downloaded System Tuner and fired it up. I started playing with it, turned off a couple startup programs, froze some others, and selected to force all CPUs online under active tweaks. After rebooting, I now seem to have 4-5 bars consistently. Now if I can only get the email issue worked out. Is there an email program from google play that someone could recommend? I've about given up with the stock app.
Well I am about "-" This close to throwing this fricking thing at the wall and watching it break into a thousand pieces. Even though the data now is fine, the email issue is still here but worse now. I went and deleted all the emails to start from scratch again. I did this by going in to apps, finding the Mail app, force closing and clearing the cache and data. Doing a restart into recovery and wiping the cache and dalvik cache 3 times eac and then rebooting the phone. I was able to add my exchange account with 0 issues and 1 of my pop3 accounts ok. And Gmail does work but I have to use the Gmail app to see it. When trying to add my gmail account into the regular email app, I get a 504 gateway timeout error. The same goes for trying to add my MSN account and Yahoo account, same error. I even tried adding them as pop3 accounts and manually added all the settings but this fails as well. I did open my browser to make sure that the internet still works because of the 504 gateway error and it does still work. I don't know what to do....
well Mike,
I feel bad for you that you are having troubles.
Personally, I am went to the .10 leak a few weeks ago, and then rui'd to .12
I have no problems at all, and I use my 5 email accounts.
o signal bars - I never care. if it works then it works and there is no problem. don't sweat over signal bars.
o For Yahoo mail you must use the yahoo email app from the Google play store. this app will add the yahoo email account to the system. do not try to add the yahoo email account into settings-accounts nor into the regular email app, or you are asking for trouble and will get it.
o I have three gmail accounts. Add additional gmail accounts using the gmail app. adding it any other way creates major problems. One can easily use the gmail app to switch among the Gmail accounts. in settings-accounts each if your Gmail accounts should show up exactly one time with a white G blue background icon next to it. Delete any Gmail accounts you have made that have the red/white gmail app icon next to it.
o The regular email app is for POP3 and other conventional email. Believe me that there will be kaos if you manage to get the regular email app servicing gmail or other kinds of email accounts.
o Create a desktop folder with yahoo mail app, Gmail mail app, and regular mail app. When creating and sending emails use the correct app.
o when new emails arrive you will get notification. touch the notification and the correct app will start and display the email.
Few people have so many email accounts, but this is the best way to use them, in my opinion, on the rezound.
Relax a little, don't destroy the rezound, after all you can always sell it.
regards,
Howard
This might be a coincidence but after I ruu'd .12 from running .10 I didn't have 4G. I enabled one of the location services, VZ I believe, and bingo, my 4G popped up. I disable the location service and have had 4G running fine ever since.

I ended up doing just that last nite and downloaded the Hotmail app along with the Yahoo app. So far using each of those seperate apps and the Gmail app seem to be working fine. It was just a whole lot easier when I was able to use the stock email app to check all of my emails at once. The stock email app is supposed to allow you to add all kinds of email types and specifically shows Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo and a couple others as choices besides just regular pop3 ones. Its just strange because it worked very well before this and I didn't have to download those other apps to do it. . I know on GB it was fine along with the earlier leaks. I only started having problems on 3.14.605.5 but never tried 3.14.605.10.
I still overall really like this phone so I don't think I will destroy it. LOL
